John,

The Texas Supreme Court took a case that you need to know about. The case involves a pregnant mother, Kate Cox, who wanted a live dismemberment abortion on her 21-week-old preborn daughter, which is against Texas law. 

This case is important to know about and understand; it represents countless other post-Roe v. Wade situations in which a preborn baby’s life is on the line, and state courts are portrayed as having authority over life and death. 

The devastating reality is that the Kate Cox case is being heavily misrepresented.

Here are the facts:

With the encouragement of her doctor, Cox has decided to kill her 21-week-old daughter because the baby has Trisomy 18.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled against a district judge’s decision, so Cox is traveling out of state to abort her child.

According to court documents, Cox was happy when she found out she was pregnant… Until her daughter tested positive for Trisomy 18 — a genetic condition that causes physical growth delays during fetal development.

Kate filed a lawsuit to bypass Texas' protections for preborn children, which include those with disabilities.

The suit claims a D&E "abortion is the safest option for her health and her best medical option given that she wants to have more children in the future."

Watch this video of how a D&E abortion procedure is performed, and tell me if the word “safe” comes to mind: https://www.abortionprocedures.com/ 

Abortion is not the standard procedure for any maternal medical emergency, and it is never necessary. Induced labor and early delivery may be… but Cox does not want to go through labor or c-section for a disabled child.

She has already had two c-sections.

If her daughter is carried to term or induced early, she will likely have to undergo a third c-section that could have complications.

So Kate wants a D&E abortion to kill her daughter instead, delivering the baby in pieces vaginally.

What’s not being acknowledged is that D&E abortions come with major risks.

Evidence in peer-reviewed literature from over 160 studies connects abortion to subsequent preterm birth. This increases the risks of hemorrhage, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

The claim that abortion is the safest option for this mother is false.

Doctors have been pressuring Kate for weeks to abort her daughter, suggesting that the fetal diagnosis means her daughter will not survive until birth or will die within "minutes, hours, or days."

But is this really the case?

Doctors often label children diagnosed with Trisomy 18 "incompatible with life."  

Bella Santorum, Faith Smith, Kayden McClanahan & Verity Jacobson are just a few kids who have proven medical experts wrong.

In fact, 90% of kids with Trisomy 18 live when given proper medical care.
